Sweet potatoes' orange glow gives away their beta-carotene content. By serving this dip with whole-wheat pita and raw vegetables such as red peppers and broccoli, you also get selenium, vitamin C, and sulforaphane.

This hummus was quick and easy to make. The hardest part was peeling the sweet potatoes, but that's not too bad. The flavor was amazing! I especially loved the hint of smokiness from the roasted garlic.
